Started out in a higher pace than it could uphold until the end. Fell apart a little as the evening went by.
Very dark red. Extracted Syrah nose of wood and anise seeds, licorice and some herbal content. Rich and satisfying, yet young. In the mouth, this is a big-bottomed lady with fine acids to match and uplift the rather hefty structure of this extracted wine. Yet elegant with its M+ tannins supporting everything well. Not for long term keeping. One btl to go, in ~2016.

Young, extracted Oz Shiraz with balancing acids. Not overdone. Very fine for the price. Beat some more prestigious Oz Shiraz at "World of Wines Fiesta" in Kamiooka.

Beautiful colour and bouquet. Let down by structure the high alcohol masked somewhat in its youth. Nice but not stupendous.
